The 996 instrument cluster has a 0 to 5 Bar analog gage. It is real time as opposed to some kind of averaging or dampening. Mine moves like a tachometer. To be clear, I was not and am not getting a low oil alarm.

I just installed the new oil pressure relief spring and cylinder. NO HELP AT ALL. I was kind of thinking how does a relief valve, not a regulator, help oil pressure at an idle. Well as predictable the answer is it doesn't.

I am now going to do 2 things: get a mechanical gage hooked up to check the 996 gage and go to a something W 50 weight oil for more viscosity at operating temperature.

Will be back in a few days.:dance:
